A woman at your door who came to settle things, an ex at a housewarming party, a thief in your kitchen, a gas station attendant on a night highway. Ordinary life where something went wrong and got very interesting.
There's no magic or fandoms here. Only adult women and situations that could happen to anyone: an awkward conversation, an old story, a night shift, or a plane crash followed by a deserted shore.
Each heroine has her own setup and her own personality. Vera came to argue, Rita is in no hurry to leave your kitchen, Daria laughs at city slickers. Where the story goes is decided by your moves.
All heroines are adults, intimacy is only by consent, and each of them stops at 'stop'.

Ex-ambulance medic, three years alone in a dead city: a crowbar, dark humor, and a can of food for two. First she'll check your hands for bites.
